General Use Questions

There is currently limited amount of documentation available on how to use this Operating System. This section should help you learn to navigate the OS.

Question : What username and password do I use to login on the Main Screen

Answer : Select the "Guest" account. If you want to login as a user, you may select ANY user on the device, the password is the first name in all lowercase (lola, toomas, anna) aside from the differnt background images, ALL accounts are identical and have the same content.

Question : What username and password do I use to login via SSH

Answer : If you have installed the OpenSSH Server on your Ubuntu Touch Build, use "phablet" as both the username and password. SSH can be accessed over WiFi or ADB TCP Forwarding.

Question : What is the sudo password

Answer : If you are prompted for the sudo password, enter "phablet"

Question : XXX Function or Feature does not seem to be working

Question : Now that I have ADB working, how do I access the Ubuntu chroot

Answer : You must be running adb as root ("adb root") prior to running an adb shell. Once you have ran the ADB shell, run the following command to enter the Ubuntu Chroot

ubuntu_chroot shell

You will now be dropped into a console on the Ubuntu chroot.

Question : How do I set the time zone?

Answer : In the current build, the Time zone must be set via command line. You can view the correct Timezone Values by using nano (or vi) to view /usr/share/zoneinfo/zone.tab . I reside in Miami, which uses the "America/New_York" Zone. Once you have identified your zone, run the following commands via SSH

echo "America/New_York" > /etc/timezone

dpkg-reconfigure --frontend noninteractive tzdata

Question : How do I close an Application that I have opened (In the full pain or side stage)

Answer : Follow the Steps Below

Once in the Application, open the HUD by holding your finger at the bottom edge of the display and dragging your finger up to the middle (Think : Google-Now)

Select the "Icon" of the App you wish to control (there may be more then 1 depending on the number of applications that are running.

Select the "X" at the bottom right corner.

Note : Most of the menu options are non-functional, only close. Applications closed in this manner will no longer show up in your "Running Applications" list. It seems there are placeholders to switch sidestage applications and move an application into the sidestage, none appear to be working.

Question : How do I setup the Openssh server inside of Ubuntu

Answer : Follow the Steps Below

Ensure the Tablet is connected to WiFi and connected to your computer via USB

On a computer, start adb as root by running "adb root" on a command line

Use adb to open a console into the device by running "adb shell"

Enter the Ubuntu chroot by running "ubuntu_chroot shell" within your adb session, you will now be dropped into the Ubuntu environment as the "root user"

Run the "apt-get update" command at the prompt

Run the "apt-get install openssh-server" command at the prompt

Run "ifconfig" on the prompt to return your current IP address

On your computer, open a SSH client and connect to the IP address. The username and password are both "phablet"

You may also use SCP to transfer files as well
